Further information: Hans Namuth (German, 1915–1990) gained notoriety during his lifetime for his portraits of famous modern artists. In particular, he is most widely recognized for his iconic portraits of the Abstract Expressionist painter by Jackson Pollock. Initially, Namuth was skeptical of Pollock’s artistic technique, however, he came to respect Pollock’s talent after being convinced by his teacher, Josef Breitenbach, that Pollock’s artistic innovations were significant. At the time, Namuth’s portraits of Pollock helped to establish a new image of the male artist as a genius, one who is both feeling and staunchly masculine. Related Categories Warhol photos.
